it will decide

what will get you out of bed in

the morning, what you do with your

what you read, who you know, what breaks

Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ, former Superior General of the Society of Jesus

Much more than just engaging minds, what we do at Gonzaga

University engages the whole person. Our mission asserts that

education should never be confined strictly to the classroom. The

Gonzaga Community is committed to the Jesuit ideals of developing

one’s total self – intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. At

Gonzaga, you’ll learn how to learn, think critically, and discover

an engagement with life that is vigorous – and contagious. What

captures your heart, mind, and soul affects everything…it is the

very source of inspiration.
